The primary objective of Baptcare’s research program is to foster a culture of evidence-based best practice consistent with Baptcare’s mission, vision and values.
Baptcare’s research is designed to improve the services Baptcare provides, and to address complex social issues. Our research is the foundation of our advocacy activity and social policy development.
We engage in research and advocacy on issues crucial to the needs of the people with whom we work. We draw on evidence from our own research and from other organisations’ research, the services we run and from the people for whom we provide services.
Research partnerships
Over the next 18 months, Baptcare will build its research capacity, and foster new partnerships and alliances with research organisations.
We partner with individuals and organisations to conduct research in a wide variety of settings and services.
